A hair dresser of this city, who feels ag-
grieved at the loss of his Sunday business Is
of the opinion that the Sunday law should be
impartially enforced without regard to parties
and should extend to churches where con-
tribution boxes are passed at each service.
A Vermonter attending prayer meeting in
Massachusetts, heard an elderly gentleman ex-
press his feelings in the following manner,
And we should all, my dear friends, bless the
Lord that we were not born In Africa nor
Vermont, nor any other dark corner Of the
earth"
An aged colored woman in Georgia town
recently signifed her intention Of joining the
church. She was reputed well-to-do and two
rival churches strove to win her. One of them
sent deacon Of great eloquence to employ
upon her his rare arts of persuasion. In
normal circumstances 1t Is probable that his
mission might have been successful, but the
aged woman recognized him as person who
had owed her IS for fourteen years, and she
joined the other church.

psychologist has launched theory that a
woman's fOndness for scents Is due to her de.
fectlve sense of smell. 1t is a matter of evo-
luton. In the early stages of his physics and
intellectual development man had to employ
his nose in the pursuit of game, while in wo-
men, engaged in domestic work the sense OF
smell was not exercised. II is said that wo-
men, owing to their defective sense of smell,
can endure perfume which is quite over
powering to men.

1.-The cutting of the ring cake has
been too long deferred" replied his
majesty. Moreover, it has disap-
peared. Our commands are that it be

The cake indeed could not be found,

Mrs. Barley hustled in with many
apologies, and Gained the tumult with

worthy lady. and she managed in pass
ing to whisper few words to Miss
Young.
Rosamond in her turn conveyed
some myster Gus intelligence to Miss
Stanislas, who was elected to cut the
cake. What it was all about who shall
say? But either Judge Wesley John
was in rare luck. or there was a secret
and illegal mark on that cake known
only to The. initiated, in which case
there were certainly three conspirators.
One thing remains. Mr.. John got the
ring.
All eyes then turned on Rosamond.

king conferred it on his queen.
1t was a ring of twisted silver, shap-
ed like a lovers knot. Miss Stanislas
received il very prettily, and | may as
well make long story short, and say
at once that she wore it on the third
finger of her left hand, where a few
months afterward it was replaced by a
heavy wedding band of gold.

Yes, it is rather warm, but we must take
the weather as it comes. We should be thank
full to have any, and even hot weather is bet
ter than none at all. 1t has its cOmpensatng
features. There is no bOthering with over
coats. fur gloves, ear muffS. etc. Fires do not
have to be raked every few minutes. Your
horse does not have to be rough shod to keep
him from falling on the ice. Your own head
is not exposed to an avalanche Of snow from
the roof as you walk the streets. The gas and
water pipes are not frozen up. The young
man who hangs on your front gate at night
is in no danger of getting frdst-bitten; there
is no danger of pumps freezing; no necessity
of covering cucumber vines; frnit OF all kinds
is perfectly safe if the boys cant get at it;
watermelOns are beyond the danger point if
they are under lock and key: last winters ice
crop is safe beyond doubt; no immediate
danger of a blizzard; good time to prune the
thermometer by cutting off the lower half. In
fact, hot weather has many cOmpensations,
not the least of which is that it teaches
patience. Wait and it will be cooler. Christ

Peculiar People.

In one of the counties in the South
ern part of the State bodering on Mary
land, the Amish are especially numer-
Gus. In tbs county, says The Pittsburgh
Dispatch lives prominent member of
the church whom we will call Rinehart,
though that isn't his name. He is the
richest man in all that section. He
never wore coat with buttons on in
his life, and as for ornaments, he never
had so much as a paper collar. He is
large owner of railroad stocks and
looks sharply after his interests.
A few years ago there was big meet
ing of railroad magnates in Philadel-
pha, and Rnehart was present. At the
banquet which followed the meeting
some of the railroaders thought they
would have some fun out of their back
woods visitor, whose strange dress
made him particularly conspicuous.
Accordingly they gave the old man a
ed him TO do the honors of the occasion.
There was turkey to carve, and Rine-
hart asked if they had any objections to
his doing the job in country style.
Country style, by all means; that
will suit us best" was the reply. The
old gentleman selected the choicest
part of the meat heaped up a plate
most pleut;fully, then replacing the
carving-knife, resumed his seat and
commenced eating, volunteering the
information: Country style is for
every man to help himself"
Another class of religious enthusiasts
are the well-known Dunkards, or Ger
man Baptists They eschew ornaments
and style, but not to the extent that the
Amish do. Somerset County, in this
State. is said to contain more Dunkards
than any other territory of similar ex-
tent anywhere in the world. These
people call themselves Brethren and
seemingly their lives render the name
appropriate. Formerly they took no
part in politics. but of late years some of
the more progressive have become
active politicians. A few years ago.
while in Somerset County, the writer
heard of a very Successful ruse adopted
by candidate for some county office
TO secure the support of these people.
After the usual style of oflice-seekers,
the gentleman started out on an cleo
tioneering tour, determined to visit tho
Dunkard settlements and court the
favor of the Brethren. On his way he
met friend. an influential farmer,
who ask him where he was going. On
receiving reply the farmer exclaim-
ed:
"Well I'll guarantee you don't get a
dozen votes from those people if you 90
there as you are now. Don't you know
how much they are against style? Let
me fix on up, then you may go among
them and your work might amount to
something You must take off your
tall hat, yo"r gold chain and your fine
shoes and coat Put on an old SLOUGH
hat of mine, pair of cowhide boots
and an old coat and tie a cotton hand
kerchief around your neck"
The candidate had the good sense to
see that the advice of his farmer friend
was sound. and accompanied him to his
home, where he was arrayed in the
hobiliments of rustic. Then he made
the rounds of the Dunkard neighbor-
hood, and when the votes from that
section of the country were reckoned
up, it was found he was far ahead of
all his competitors. He was ele cted,
and it was borrowed clothing that did

after many conversations with horsemen and

Hill who married Colonel Whitley, of Ken

handsome widow got employment in the
